A Knight of the Dragon Academy

By: Michael Dalton, Eliza Hawk

Narrated by: Hannah Schooner, Giancarlo Herrera

For centuries, the Academy of the Draconic Order in the ancient city of Avilus has sent its graduates into the world to seek dragons suffering from a magical curse, one that hobbled their intellect and reduced them to dumb beasts. Only those who find and cure a dragon earn the right to be called Draconic Knights.

After fifteen years of study and training, Roland has completed every step in his education but one–the stage when he must prove his worth to seek a dragon and select a Squire to accompany him from among the next class of students.

But what should be a straightforward process in accordance with the Academy’s ancient traditions rapidly becomes a complex challenge. Roland finds himself having to choose between one of his oldest friends and another student whose impressive qualifications are matched by her equally prickly personality. And the one who fails to be chosen as a Squire will be turned out of the Academy, never to return.

Worse, Roland’s decision soon becomes caught up in a power struggle between the Church and the city’s powerful noble families, a struggle that could ultimately bring down the Order itself. Roland can still become a Draconic Knight–at the cost of everything he’s devoted his life to.

A Knight of the Dragon Academy is an epic fantasy adventure of dragons, intrigue, chivalry, and honor.

Great book beginning to end

From the first to the last spoken word, this book fulfilled, my expectations. It is well written, it is amusing. It is gripping it is entertaining. I love the ending, even though I had guessed it in advance. You can’t go wrong purchasing this book.

Narrators were great.

So I saw a complaint about magic in the reviews. I wouldn't really call it magic as much as divine intervention. The only 2 uses of magic I saw/heard of, is the curse, and then the ritual to lift it through prayer essentially. I would compare it to exorcism if you consider that magic or just divine intervention is up to you I suppose. I don't really know what is behind the curse, maybe a different God placing a curse. It's not really explained how it happen exactly, just that it did because of some guy hundreds of years ago.

There are some things that don't really make sense, and you'll probably see those if you're paying attention. like the whole thing surrounding sex and the fact that you can have a squire of the opposite sex.

The story was good, the story covers the 100 days until our protagonist begins his search for a dragon. There's some......well a small amount of action, but it's mostly political games and the interpersonal and romantic relationships the protagonist has, that takes the focus of the book.

relationships romantic and platonic > political games > action > dragons.

Fun

I absolutely loved this dragon academia story. My only regret is that it ended. I can't wait for book 2.

the voice acting is amazing

the story was substandard. it felt more like a CW show then a book of political intreague

Amazing!

I love this title so much and the narration is so amazing as well! Cant wait for the next one!
